It's the most wonderful time of the year, Hooptober! I've been looking forward to this year's marathon since the 11th so I already had a few ones I knew I wanted to put on this list saved, and luckily they fit perfectly within the categories, funny how things work out like that. I decided to impose an extra rule for myself this year, that I would not count the required countries or years for the country and decade representatives unless I watch another movie from that country or decade. Meaning for example two horrors from the 1930's, one for the required 1932 movie, and one as a representative for the decade requirement.
HARDMODE: Will review all the movies
Original list…
